FA KM AND HOI CllOi.O. i'iiri»t''-;jr Grass ttnd Iliiyiiijj liny. 'i lie nilici day, a Northern ram, in the hearing ol (lie writer, let liiiii'ipH’ loose ttjtcm us after tills i fashion: *• It seems t me tl.atyn i pc.>| le in the Cut toil iug Slates man age B>iiue\vlial strangely. Vnti spend hsil u the spring ami all j (it Oie summer in fighting and ties- j troy iug grass, a;.d when yu liave \ succeeded in des!trying it all, you send clear away down to the Mate of Maine and liny dried gr.ss it ;i cost of two cents per pound to, subsist your stock. Now, so near- j ly as I can judge, your planters j do not make two cents a pound ; net on cotton at thirty cents in j your market; and thus a bale of j Kit stem hv nn your plantations j will about offset a bale of Cotton in the pocket of the farmer. “From what 1 know of Middle Georgia, 1 should say that you can beat Maine out of sight iti making hay. Grass don’t take a start in Maine till from the first to the mid dle of Juno, and th.is before-grass lx gins to grow in Maine, you Georgians c.-uhl stuff your barns so full of hay and tuner, at a cost i ot exceeding an eighth of a cent per pound, that you might air r,i to ship hay to M lino, if the Maine men would only consent to pay the price for it which you pay. “ Hut if you will not raise liay, whii h, to the extent, at least, of yout own necessities,you can raise more prnffiably than cotton, tell me, in the name of good sense, vhv you refuse ,to gather grass which comes in your corn fields indigenously after the crop is laid by, and which is much better for stock than the musty and falsely packed stuff which ordinarily comes to your niarKet ?” We have e t Vet framed our re ply to the V • kee. Will some ■ f (.nr rc:rdc:t> help us ? It is a case of difficulty. Macon Telegraph. A Larue Farm —Richard King, who frequently rusticates in Den \er, is the owner and occupant of Santa Kain.tis Ranch, in North ern Texas. The ranch or planta tion consists of nineteen leagues of land, each league embracing 4,428 acres; on this plantation there are sixty five thousand head of entitle; one fourth of this number an; beeves, one-fourth cows; the ether Comprises one and two-year olds. Mr King owns one thousand saddle horses; employs between three and four hundred herdsmen; he also owns seven thousand breed t. are*, and as many thousand sheep, lie brands twelve thousand calves annually. He keeps be tween eight hundred and a thou land bulls, or gentlemen bovines It may bo stated, in this connec ti n, that upwards of six millions of beef cattle aie driven from Texas yearly. Liquid Manure. —A barrel or hogshead, for liquid manure, should be kept in a convenient place in ail gardens. Plants can only avail themselves of manure in a liquid form, and valuable fertilizers are often lost by remaining undissolv ed in the ground too long. Dis solve at the rate of one pound of pure Peruvian guano, or two pounds of dry hen manure in ten gallons of rain water, and apply to your plants, say once a week, just at night fall, or before a show er. The liquid manure should not fall upon the leaves or stems of plants, hut should be evenlv sprinkled over the roots, the ground having been previously stirred a little with a pronged hoe. If the plants are mulched, this stirring will not be necessary, and the benefits of the liquid manure will be more certainly secured. Givk the Buys a Patch.—One of the surest methods of attach ing a loy to the farm is to let him have something upoU it for his own. Give him a small plat of ground to cultivate, allowing him the proceeds for his own use. Let him have his steers to break or his sheep to care for. The ownership of even a fruit tree planted, pruned and brought to bearing by his own hands, will in spire him with an interest that no mere reward or wages can give. In additon to the cultivation of a taste for farm life which such a cotr (■ will cultivate, the practical knowledge gained by a boy will be of the highest value. Being interested, lie wi 1 be more obser vant, and thoroughly learn what ever is necessary for his success. Another and eijually important advantage will be the accustom ing him early to feel the responsi bility’. To lUlocve Kkvkalqia —A New Hampshire gentleman says : “Take two large talde-spoonfuU of cologne and two tc&s-poonfuls of fine salt; mix them together in a tonal bottle; every time you have hii acute affection of the facial nerves, or neuralgia, simply breathe the fumes in your nose from the bottle, and you will be immediately relieved.” lowa Chops —The Das Moines Register says the wheat crop of lowa will be a fair average this year, and the corn will be the best ever produced iti the State.

It is founded upon the most approved principles of the chemical science, and was thoroughly tested by him be "ore offering it to the public. It differs from all other fertiliz rs in these essentials: I. It is almost instantaneous in effect. 11. It is cheap, and can be made at home without hauling virgin soil or muck land, which would piy better, if tended where found. HI. Seed soaked in a solution of it, no mole, bird ot worm will touch.

I sold this magnificent ami inct wparnblc historical church pic ture at SlO per ropy. I now nfler it to the friends of the church at 85 per ropy, and will allow 81 50 per copy commission, to any who will undertake its sale ; or I will sell it to clubs of five or more at 8.1.50 per copy. Every Methodist family in the South ern States should have a copy of this beautiful and hallowed pimjrc. Kvery official hoard in every station in the church ought (in my humble judgment) to pocurc a copy, 'ramc it handsomely, auu hang it in the parsonage. I would say the same of every Sabbath-school - con nected with the church: all should have a copy neatly framed and hang it in lheir school room. Let us remember and re vere the memory of the great and good men of the church, now dead, ami whoso likenesses are on this picture. If my friends will take hold und assist me to sell a large number oT copies of this charming and attractive picture, they will confer a great and lasting favor which will be heartily reciprocated in any and every way that J may be able to return their kindness. I have a recent letter from Bishop Kavanaugh —he says, “ If you can afford to sell your beaut'ln I picture on the terms proposed, and make money by it you will do u g )od thing for yourself, the church, and the public. Reducing so fine a pic ture to so low a price ought to put it in every Methodist family who are in eir cumatancis to live in any tolerable com fort.” At the time the war broke out, I had in the hands of a number of my friends in the Southern States, book* and engra vings amounting in value, to upwards of fourteen thousand dollars (814,000) since the clone of the war I have only realized of that large amount, about 8400. Those of my friends who still have an)’ portion of these books and engravings on hand, will please advise me of the Tact, at an early day. My address is Dost Of fice Box 3,328, New York. Wn,liam T.

They are the €■ REIT lILOOD PURIFIER and A LIFE GIT. I\G PRINCIPLE, a perfect Renovator and Invlgorator of the System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a heakhy condi tion. No person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones arc not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organ* wasted beyond the point of repair. r -,. They arc a Gentle Purgative a* well a* a Tonic, possessing also, the peculiar merit of act ing as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver, and all the Visceral j Organs. FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, whether In young or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at the turn of life, these Tonic Bit ters have no equal. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheu matism and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indiges tion, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kid neys and Biadfer, these Bitters have been most successful. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood, which is generally produced by derangement of the Digestive Orjaoa DYSPEPSIA or IXDIGESTIOX, Head ache, Pain In the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. They invigorate the Stomach ana stimulate the tor pid Liver and Bowels, which render them of un equaled effleaey in cleansing the blood of all impuri ties, and imparting new life and vigor to the whole system. FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms, Bcald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will convince the most inr credulous of their curative effects. Cleanse tiie Vitiated Blood whenever you find It* •mpurities bursting through the skin In Pimples, Eruptions or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will f °Pln, Tap© and other Worm*, lurking In the system of Romany thousands, are effectually destroy ed and removed. Say* a distinguished physiologist, there is scarcely an individual upon the face ot the earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy elements of the body that worms exist, but upon tho diseased humors n*id slimy deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No system of Medicine, no vermifuges, bo anthelmintics, will fre6 the system from worm* like these Bitters. SOLD BY ALL DRUtHiiSTS AND DEALERS. J. WALKER, Proprietor. R. H.
